Integrative Health

Description:

This course provides an overview of the philosophy, principles, and practices of integrative health care - holistic (mind/body/spirit) approach to health and healing based on a partnership between the health care provider and the patient in which conventional, complementary, and self-care strategies are used to stimulate and support the body's natural healing potential. Students will examine current research on such complementary and self-care practices including massage, meditation, imagery, prayer, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, humor, expressive arts, and others.
